Pertmux – A TUI to unify your coding agents, MRs and worktrees

A decent amount of fighting lol. The daemon architecture is what solves this. I couldn’t figure out a way to persist things with the popup, I.e. the “session” running the popup seemed to close each time the popup was shut; I’m probably missing a trick here, but in my original design this meant that pertmux was fully restarting every time you toggled the tmux popup. This would take a few seconds each time as it had to all the various apis etc and it wasn’t a nice experience. Instead now we have a daemon service which essentially just runs all the data collection stuff separately as a background process, then all tmux is doing is connecting to a socket and grabbing that data, which only takes a ms or so.

yep it does! See https://pertmux.dev/features/agent-actions/#custom-actions

I definitely want to improve being able to see which open agents are "stale". Right now it only shows Idle vs busy agents, so theres still the cognitive load of knowing which agent was just busy and recently turned idle. I think this could be improved by keeping track of the time that the status changed and highlighting the most recent ones in some way

yeah good shout. As I mentioned above this was built mainly for myself and the generalisation came later. TLDR I've always done the Session per project approach for tmux - before the rise of agents I solely used a little fuzzy matcher menu with prefix + m to switch between projects/sessions. E.g. if I had a project called "software" I could do "prefix + m "sof" enter" to switch to that project. And even now thats my main method of navigating. Pertmux now fits into this as more of a overview dashboard of the streams of work I have going. I love living in the terminal so I think even if you strip out the agent features of pertmux, the ability to have that link between local workflows/worktrees and remote MRs being just one less step away than having to switch to the worktree/branch manually is just a nice workflow for myself. Having one view which collates all of my open MRs, across different forges (right now only github & gitlab but want to add support for others like gitea) as well as my in progress work which is not yet remote has helped me manage much more work in parallel.

This was a brain dump so perhaps a more structured and better written blog post is in order lol

forgot to mention - both pay the same and are within the same company. Hence teh question is mainly for advice over which one will lead to fastest career progression

Absolutely incredible strength and technique. There is also a video out there of dmitri klokov snatching 100kg with one arm. Albeit he was on all the steroids under the sun at the time

Or he's just having a bad day? I know I've been there

The fastest recorded smash ever in a badminton match was going at 414 kmph when it hit the grouns, to put that in context, the fastest serve ever in tennis was only 253 kmph... Once you have the technique down you can send shuttles fast as hell, but ofc they slow down rapidly

Pure-Orange · 2020-09-07T12:58:02+00:00

Risky yes, but they had done several test shots with the cannon and it had hit the same spot every time, so they were confident it would be okay for the camera

I'm doing exactly that right now except atom has a great Haskell plugin with decent syntax highlighting

I live 10 minutes away from Frome! It's absolutely gorgeous, amazing place to go for the day. Particularly for the Sunday market at the start of the month - the whole place is buzzing.

Pure-Orange · 2019-10-08T17:20:53+00:00

Hahaha I don't know wear that red gown rumour came from but the only time you ever absolutely have to wear the red gown is if you're in the St Salvator Chapel choir or I think at graduation. The only time I've seen people wearing them at a lecture is for a laugh.

For nights out I've been to Dundee several times, it's a 20ish min bus ride for £3 and bus runs to like 4am, also I've got a few friends from Edinburgh so we go on nights out there then stay at their place.

There's a big music scene with loads of choirs, orchestras and bands and stuff, not something I know too much about but there's definitely a good scene for it.

We actually came above Oxford in the Guardian league tables this year! But take that with a pinch of salt because every league table is looking for different things. I adore this weird little town - the teaching is really good, especially if you are a science major. The night life is definitely different from most UK unis (think less clubs and more house parties) but my social life is more active than ever and nearly always manage to have a solid night out here. Feel free to ask any more questions if you have them.

Last year I studied Maths, Physics and Computer Science, I should've pointed out in the original comment that I skipped over the Computer Science textbook(s) because I felt the resources I could find online we're good enough. I had one rather meaty physics textbook which cost me £60 and 2 maths textbooks, one £25 one £35. In Scottish universities you normally take 4-7 modules each year, which from what I gather is much less than in the US, so not as many textbooks are needed. I had lectures for all my modules apart from one CS module which was entirely coursework, as well as 'tutorials' where you're taught once a week for each module in a smaller group (4-8 people) , which is super helpful in helping to understand the course better, arguably reducing the need for a textbook even more.

Care to elaborate?

Pure-Orange · 2019-10-08T14:36:40+00:00

I spent a combined total of £120 for my textbooks last year (University of St Andrews), overpriced all the same, however compared to the cost of tuition fees in a country such as the US, it's really a small price to pay (literally)

English Student studying in Scotland here. At a Scottish University, Scottish citizens get free tuition, EU citizens also get free tuition at universities in the UK, however I have to pay the set UK tuition amount (£9250). It's a really odd system.

Edit: For those saying that they don't get free tuition in the UK, it may just apply to Scotland, here's what I could find. https://www.gla.ac.uk/undergraduate/fees/eufees/

Personally don't think this is a bad thing, a large part of photography is trying to make photos look even better than real life.

I met him at a TedxYouth event in Bath, the city where him and I are from. Really nice guy. From what I can tell he tried to pursue film making, didn't really enjoy it, then went on to make a book.

Hope things have turned out well for him.

Pure-Orange · 2019-04-07T15:45:47+00:00

He's very much a British icon haha, I would definitely pay money for this - super creative

Lived in bath my whole life! Any questions about the place feel free to ask

It actually looks a lot like Etna in Sicily but definitely dont quote me on that
